Build Context for the Tasks

A context provides an easy access to the relevant code for the task you are working on. When you search for the relevant code for the user story that you want to work on, the Package Explorer section displays the location of the code. This is called building context for the task. Each context is associated with a user story or requirement in the task list. The contexts make it easier to navigate to the identified code.

For example, Alice is working on the user story “I want to pay for parking pass by credit card”. She searches for the relevant code in the IDE. The Package Explorer displays the context to the selected code. Every time Alice returns to the IDE to work, she does not have to search for the code again. She can select the context to start working.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Tasktop Dev for CA Clarity Agile and CA Clarity Requirements integrated Eclipse IDE.
  2. Select a user story, issue, or requirement from the task list.
  3. Activate the task by clicking the circle icon in the left column of the task list.

    The figure shows the activate icon in the task list.

  4. Search for the relevant code.

The Package Explorer builds the context.
